Olympic boxing champion Luke Campbell is going head-to-head in tonight’s duel against Samia Ghadie, but believes the Coronation Street actress has an unfair advantage over him.

The two celebrity skaters will compete against each other in a skating duel where the winner will be granted immunity from eviction by the judges.

Whoever doesn’t win the duel will then go up against all of the other losing skaters for the judges to decide who should go home.

But Luke has admitted his fears that his routine will be harder than Samia’s as she doesn’t have to worry about lifting her skating partner.

‘It’s tough for me going up against Samia because I’m having to do all the lifts which her partner Sylvain (Longchambon) is so good at,’ he told the Daily Star.

‘I don’t know how the judges are going to score it because I am doing more. I do think it’s harder than going head-to-head with another guy, because then you are both on the same level playing field.’

And Dancing On Ice judge, Karen Barber, has admitted she agrees with Luke’s comments.

‘I would probably agree it is harder for the men, especially early on because they have to support and lift their partner.’

But Karen added that the pairings have been done in as fair a way as possible: ‘The pairings have been decided on who was next to each other on the leader board to try and make it as fair as possible.’
